Soft Mocha Chocolate Caramel Cookie Recipe

I have a weakness for soft cookies. Then add in mocha, chocolate, and caramel, and it is basically the best cookie ever! One bite of this amazing cookie and you will know exactly what I am talking about. Everything about these cookies works together perfectly to make the nest cookies.

What is the Best Cocoa For Mocha Cookies

There are many cocoa powders on the market. What cocoa powder is best really depends on your tastes and your budget. Many of the European brand are alkalized while many of the American brands are not. You will pay more for the alkalized brands. You can use Hershey’s chocolate for a budget friendly option, while there are still other lower priced brands that are still budget friendly but have more of gourmet taste. For this recipe you can use whatever cocoa powder you have on hand or use whatever cocoa powder your store carries.

How Can I Make Soft Cookies Every Time?

When it comes to making cookies, I need the cookies to be soft. There are ways to make the cookies come out soft every time and there are ways to make sure the cookies stay soft and chewy after the cookies are baked.

• Use Brown Sugar: Many cookie recipes call for white sugar and brown sugar. Brown sugar is used in cookies that you want to be soft because brown sugar holds more moisture than white sugar. When you use brown sugar in the cookies, the cookies will be softer.
• Bake at a Lower Temperature: Baking cookies at a lower temperature will give a paler cookie (well not in this cake because of the cocoa) that is soft and chewy. Unlike a shorter cook time, the cookies are not underdone but are still soft.
• Shorter Cook Time: Another thing that can give a soft cookie is a shorter cook time. While a lower temperature will give you a cookie that is cooked through, a shorter cook time will give you a slightly underdone cookie that tastes amazing. You never want to overcook the cookie because that will give you a crispier cookie no matter what tricks you use.

Can I Freeze These Chewy Chocolate Cookies?

I love freezing cookies. There are several ways to do, at different stages, but no matter how you freeze the cookies, it means that you have cookies available whenever you want them even when you are short on time. Having these cookies frozen, means you are less likely to go out to buy premade cookies or buy expensive premade cookie dough. Making this cookie dough from scratch tastes better and is less inexpensive.

How to Freeze Chewy Chocolate Cookies

You can freeze these cookies as a batch of cookie dough, cookie dough balls or as baked cookies.

Freezing Cookie Dough

When freezing the cookie dough as a batch, simply move the dough from the bowl, to plastic wrap. Wrap the dough well and then wrap it in foil. Once wrapped, wrap it in plastic again. This will keep the cookie dough from getting freezer burned. The dough will stay fresh for up to 3 months. Once you are ready to baked the cookies, you will need to thaw the cookie dough and bake as normal.

Freezing Cookie Dough Balls

When you are freezing the cookie dough balls, scoop the cookies as normal. Put the cookie balls on a cookie sheet or plate and put it in the freezer. Once the balls are frozen, move them to an airtight container or freezer bag. When you are ready to bake the cookies, remove it from the freezer and put them on a baking sheet. Bake as normal.

Freezing Baked Cookies

If you have cookies that will go stale or spoil before you have the chance to eat them, you can store the cookies in the freezer. Place the cookie in a single layer on a cookie sheet or plate. Freeze the cookies. Once the cookies are frozen, you can move the cookies to a freezer bag. Cookies will last in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you are ready to eat the cookies, remove the number of cookies you want and leave the rest in the freezer for another time.
